15-04-08 VOSA at the Drive 08 limousine show
On 20-21 April VOSA will be hosting a seminar on the role it plays in the industry at the Drive 08 limousine show in Farnborough.
The aim of the seminar is to improve compliance within the industry and ensure that vehicles are run in a safe and legal manner.
The seminar will cover the current situation regarding the compliance of the limousine industry - from designing, importing and purchasing a vehicle through to registration, operation and maintenance requirements. It will also cover some of the future changes that are expected to impact on the industry such as the introduction the European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval scheme.
The event organisers are encouraging anyone interested to send their questions to them so that they will be covered in the VOSA seminar. Questions should be sent to vosaquestions@drive08.co.uk.
VOSA is also running a stand at the show and will be offering help and guidance on how to safely and legally operate a limousine. You can find them on stand D51 and D52 over both days.
